No Brakes Tonight

[Verse 1]
Red lips
Slow sip
Got me lost in the way you move
Every curve
Every little side glance
Pulling me out of my cool
Seat back
Heartbeat
I’m running every one of your lines
You say “boy
You better keep it together”
But I’m crossing every sign
[Chorus]
I got no brakes tonight
Sliding down your body like a highway light
You say “take your time” but you hold me tight
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight
Turn the lights down low
Turn the sound up high so they’ll never know
How you say my name when you lose control
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight
[Verse 2]
Nail marks
Slow scars
You’re drawing on my naked skin
You laugh
“we’re gonna wake up the whole block”
Then you pull me right back in
Hands locked
Jaw dropped
You’re shaking on the edge of the bed
If we’re changing both our lives forever
Then we’ll say we meant what we said
[Chorus]
I got no brakes tonight
Sliding down your body like a highway light
You say “take your time” but you hold me tight
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight
Turn the lights down low
Turn the sound up high so they’ll never know
How you say my name when you lose control
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight
[Bridge]
If this night rewrites our story
Would you still be here at dawn? (yeah)
Would you wear my old shirt smiling
Telling me to drive you on? (drive you on)
[Chorus]
I got no brakes tonight
Sliding down your body like a highway light
You say “take your time” but you hold me tight
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight
Turn the lights down low
Turn the sound up high so they’ll never know
How you say my name when you lose control
I got no brakes
No brakes tonight

Sultry midtempo R&B club groove, male vocals; thick sub-bass and close-mic’d drums, filtered keys in the verses that bloom into lush pads on the hook. Intimate, breathy lead with stacked harmonies on the chorus; subtle guitar licks and vocal ad-libs add a late-night, hypnotic feel.
